FuBar - ChatListFu

So, in some servers, mainly the RP ones, we get those "alliances" between guilds and those guilds create channels for your members to 'hang out' or roleplay together. As WoW has not support for "alliances", the channel is a way to go.
Custom channels are used to for friends who are in the same server but different guilds to communicate, and a lot of other stuff.

The idea is to create an "Fu" for Fubar that scan those channels and show the names of the players on them (/chatlist) on a nice menu like FriendsFu and GuildFu do. That way, you can easily track people on those channels, invite, whisper and etc...

Multiple channel support with an option to show all merged on the tooltip or separated by channel name would be nice.

v1.0

- only lists custom channels right now (no general/trade/etc)

- left click: whisper player
- alt left click: invite player to group
- control left click: send a /who on the player

I use Chatmanager, which allows me to switch my channel numbers around...and I think I must've done that with my custom channel. It sits normally on #6...but ChatListFu reports it as being on channel #7. Not a big deal, doesn't affect functionality, but I thought I'd make you aware of the issue.

I do have a question tho. One that is asked before. Could you plz add the zone and maybe level to the names? Now I have to do a '/who' to see where the ppl in the channels are.

ooh, thats just a toc update, i guess i could update that.

the problem with getting the peoples zone/level is that theres no way to get that information without doing a /who. i believe theres a limit on how fast you can use the /who command too.

the chat commands dont return any information like your friends or guild list, just their name ;[

There is a channel that is used by everyone to find a group.
I added this channel to the tool, now wow hangs.
If i do not load then tool then wow works fine,as soon as I star teh tool then wow hangs and logs me out after a while.
so it is the tool.

do you have any advice where I can change the currently saved channels, as the tool does not accepts any changes , and how I can advoid this

thnx

what server are you on (US?) and channel name, so i can go test.

theres no real easy to to change the saved channels. youll need to goto its saved variable file and add the channel name.

I love this addon. Would be nice if the names in the tooltip were colored by class, but since that would require additional /who spam, I can't see how to do it easily (maybe optionally tie into friends/guild list for known names?)

Originally posted by dan2507 What do you think about adding this to the addon (would replace some standalone addons):

- chat stickness, so you can chat in the last channel without entering /number
- chat link feature, sending item links in the channel
- timestamps

I would rather this mod stick to what it's supposed to be. I could have any number of other mods that give me those features and so much more (currently using Prat, for example) and chat window options like these aren't really related to what this mod does, in my opinion. I would rather have one all-encompassing chat mod to do most of the stuff I want, and then add on little features like this in separate simple mods, rather than have 5 different mods that each do one unique thing I need with a ton of other wasted features they all have in common.

And thank you so much for this mod by the way, I have been waiting for this FuBar plugin for a very long time. It's impossible for me to keep everyone in my guild alliance on my friends list, this makes it possible to know who's online without typing /chatwho all the time.
